Gears of War: E-Day Reportedly Sold Over 400K Copies Across Console and PC a Month After Day-One Game Pass Launch
Sources tell The Verge that Gears of War: E-Day has sold over 400,000 copies across console and PC, and Game Pass is likely to blame.
Gears of War: E-Day, the latest installment in the popular franchise, reportedly sold over 400,000 copies across consoles and PC just a month after its launch on Xbox Game Pass. The game received high praise from critics and fans for its engaging story campaign and multiplayer suite. However, its sales figures may be lower than expected, with many attributing this to the availability of the title on Game Pass.
Alinea Analytics data shows that 1.7 million players accessed the game using their Game Pass subscription, with an estimated 722,000 paying for the Premium upgrade. Despite these seemingly low numbers, nearly 950,000 likely paid for the game in some way. The recent restructuring at Xbox, which includes layoffs and the divestment of several studios, may impact future sales of titles like E-Day.
